2002 Kia Spectra Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"The 2002 Kia Spectra is generally viewed as a dependable and efficient car, especially favored for its low cost of ownership and good fuel economy. Owners appreciate its reliable performance and comfortable ride, with many mentioning its affordability for repairs. However, some drivers pointed out issues with build quality, such as parts warping and potential stability concerns. The car's performance as a commuter option is acceptable, but it doesn’t have the power or fun factor some might expect from sportier models."
Peformance - sucks, but what do you expect from a little commuter car Build Quality - sucks even more... parts of the dash are warping due to sun/heat exposure Appearance - it's okay, but it's our commuter/beater Cost of Ownership - okay... picked her up for $3500 and it's now almost 150k mi and still has a lot of life left... gonna run this to the ground Fun Factor - ??? LOL!
June 27, 2009this is one dependable car, from my perspective. It has a 4 cylinder engine and has good braking and handling . Although the car is lightweight, so if it is windy outside, then you will notice some moving around. The appearance is decent, both inside and out. Not much maintenance needed except the routine oil change. I have 70,000 miles on it and it is still running good. The seating is comfortable, but wished the steering column was adjustable.
October 25, 2008this car has a marvelous ride comfort with very good features .a nice car with very less issues ,good fuel economy and xcellent pick.at this price range you cant afford such a comfortable and nice sedan with enough boot space

September 4, 2010This car is underestimated. It is reliable, efficient, and quick as well. I got a stick shift and I love driving this car. It has a sporty look as well and can fit four comfortably. Pieces are easy to find and not too expensive. Great car.
February 1, 2010Its great on gas, and parts are cheap. I can do many repairs myself. For cheap, reliable, transportation nothing beats it. I'm glad I own it every time I go to the gas pump. The hatchback is great for moving stuff. It could never survive an accident, even at low speeds. Good value car.
July 24, 2008This car never let us down or made one hiccup. But it had the cheapest paint job I ever saw!
December 16, 2007Good acceleration for a four cylinder, Strong braking, tight steering but feels like it would roll over before sliding on pavement, a lot of rattling inside the cabin, Looks like every other compact on the road, great gas mileage, expensive parts compared to the MSRP of the car.
October 4, 2009this car is very comfortable.its a very stable car.its acceleration is good.its cst of ownership is less.overall it is good car.its a fun car to drive.there is only one issue in this car that is brakes but it can be resolved easily.......
